The decision to perform FGM/C is often made collectively and a variety of actors influence the decision. There is inconsistent and inconclusive evidence that health education interventions lead behavioural changes related to FGM/C among key decision-makers.

Article Synopsis
- This article talks about how the Maasai community in Kenya is changing their views on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) and what's helping that change.
- Researchers found that a group called S.A.F.E. is helping by creating songs and a new way to celebrate girls’ initiation that doesn't involve FGM/C.
- Although some people in the community still practice FGM/C due to cultural beliefs, changes in education and laws are slowly making it less common.
